Nat slowly pulled away from Green.
Nat smiled at the crying face of her sister.
"Hi." Nat said sarcastically.
Mona laughed through her tears.
"Hi." She said in return.
Nat caressed Mona's face with a weepy smile.
"I've waited a long time to meet you.........I just didn't expect to meet you......like this." Nat explained.
Mona nodded her head in understanding as she kept her eyes on her sisters.
Mona just kept nodding, when she whispered out a question.
"Am I dreaming?"
Nat just stared at Mona for a second before shaking her head no.
Green couldn't believe it all. It was hard to take in. Everything that had happened in the last few months was all too hard to digest.
Kyle stepped up to Nat and touched her shoulder.
"Isn't it customary to at least kiss your fiancé hello?" Kyle asked.
Nat looked up towards the sky and rolled her eyes; she then slightly turned back and looked at Kyle.
"You're an ass, you know that? I've never met my sister before and you wanna make out!" Nat's voice stated, in an almost yelling voice.
Kyle just looked at her as if she had grown another head.
"I've worrying if you were dead or alive.....wondering if you're safe or not.......and this is what I get for the sleepless nights?" Kyle retorted in an angered voice.
She closed her eyes and sighed out. She then tilted her head.
"I'm sorry! (She opened her eyes to look at him) OK?" Nat said exasperated.
Mona just glanced between Nat and Kyle.
Fiancé?
Mona had watched them through the entire pathetic attempt at a fight.
She had just met her sister........and already she had experienced a common feeling towards her sibling.
Jealousy.
As she listened and watched how Nat acted........she couldn't help but see the resemblance between herself and her sister.
They had the same killer attitude. They had the same mannerisms.
It amazed her.
She actually had a sister.
A sister that was so much like her.
But as she watched Kyle lean forward and kiss Nat softly on her lips.......her mind got the better of her.
She couldn't help but imagine it being Jarod and her that were kissing.
Suddenly Mona felt a pull on her gown.
Mona opened her eyes. Not knowing when she had closed them.
She looked down to her side to see little Kaitlyn looking up at her.
Kaitlyn smiled up sadly at her and held up her little hand to her.
Mona smiled.
Kaitlyn had read her mind....and knew that she needed someone.
Mona reached and held Kaitlyn's hand in a firm hold.
Kaitlyn smiled up at her mother at the action.
Mona smiled back.
Nat watched the scene in front of her.
She also felt a sudden wave of jealousy hit her.
She could see the love little Kaitlyn had for her mother as she looked at her face as she stared at Mona with a wide smile.
Mona's gaze traveled back to her sister.
She slowly smiled at Nat.
Slowly Dar walked into the room.
The second that Nat saw him her mouth dropped.
"Welcome home Aunt Nathalie." Dar said to her with a huge grin on his face.
Nat face broke into a huge smile and she laughed merrily and ran to Dar and wrapped her arms around him.
Dar was smiling widely as Nat's speeding frame made him fall with her on top of him.
Both were laughing.
Nat kissed his cheeks and began tickling him.
Mona was instantly jealous and angry at her sister.
In a second she had learned that not only did her son know her but that Nat was much more close to him that she was. And Dar was HER son.
As soon as both got up and Nat had her hands enveloping Dar's face, Mona felt the hand of someone touching her arm.
As she looked to see who it was, she was shocked that it was Bobby.
He had a look on his face that she understood immediately.
Nat had been there for Dar........when she wasn't.........but she was always just his aunt.
"She never could replace you Mona. Dar even said as much." Bobby commented.
Mona turned back to watch as Dar stared up to Nat with loving eyes and then he turned to look at her.
The look was still their, the look of adoration..........but it was for her.
They had spent the day getting to know each other as Kyle stayed planted by her side.
Mona had gotten over the jealousy. She had finally pushed her own selfishness aside, and was able to actually be happy for her sister.
"So you've been living here how long?" Mona inquired in a worried tone.
Nat turned to look at her with a half smirk and raised eyebrows.
"Don't worry. No one knows where I am." Nat responded.
Mona nodded her head.
Nat seemed confident that no one knew about her presence. And for now she would have to take her word for it.
Nat suddenly stopped fidgeting with her hands and looked up at her sister.
"What.....(she looked down and back up at Mona)....what do you want me to call you?" Nat asked in a low voice.
Mona looked up for her hands and stared intently at the lost look in her sisters eyes.
"I know your real name but...."
"Call me Mona......Bobby already does.....so you can too." Mona immediately cut Nat off.
At the name Nat's face scrunched up in confusion.
"But that's nothing like your real name......why does he call you that?" Nat asked perplexed.
Mona closed her eyes as a flash of a little boy with deep brown eyes smiled at her.
She swallowed and quietly spoke.
"Jarod..........gave me the name." Mona said as she again looked down to her fidgeting hands.
Nat nodded her head as her gaze feel to the table surface they were sitting around.
Nat knew about Jarod. Nat knew things.....that Mona should learn now. Now that she was there.
Nat looked up at her sister. As she was about to speak a person walked in that made her freeze with her mouth open.
Sydney smiled at Nat.
Mona had not noticed Nat's sudden shock and continued to look at her hands.
Sydney brought a finger to his mouth in a 'shhh' mannerism.
Nat just stared at him until she broke out of her trance and nodded.
Sydney then slowly slipped away from the door way.
As Sydney left, Nat smiled widely. She slowly let her hand grab Mona's and squeezed it in her hand.
Mona was a little shocked from the contact. She had a flash of a thought and a slow smile spread across her face. She looked up to Nat's eyes.
"Your not one of those touchy feely people are you?" she said with a gleam in her eyes.
Nat removed her hands immediately from Mona's.
"Do you want to lose the ability to swallow? Don't ever tell anyone or I'll make you regret your words! Got It!" Nat said trying to keep the smile that threatened to envelope her face.
Mona smiled with that devious gleam in her eye.
Sydney was not looking ahead of him as he walked with a smile on his face. He just looked at the granite floor as he walked down the hallway.
Bobby was leaning against the door frame to the kitchen as he watched Sydney walked in a haze a few feet away from him.
"When are you gonna tell her?" Bobby's voice startled Sydney from his thoughts.
Sydney looked up to Bobby.
Bobby smiled as Sydney looked up to him.
Sydney smiled back and began walking toward's Bobby.
"She's not stupid. She'll figure it out eventually." Bobby stated obviously.
Sydney smiled and put his hand on Bobby's shoulder.
"I know that. But now's not the time. Too many revelations in one day.......can be very devistating." Sydney said to Bobby.
Bobby smiled at Sydney and leaned into Sydney to place a kiss on his cheek.
Sydney smiled.
"What ever you say....." Bobby said as he leaned back....leaving the sentence hanging.
Sydney smiled and patted Bobby on the shoulder and continued to walk up stairs.
Bobby smiled after Sydney.
"This is going to be interesting!" Bobby said to no one.
